Project description


The German Government owned Organization for International Cooperation (GIZ) started the implementation of the project “Support to Municipal Development” which has been commissioned by the German Ministry of Economic Development and Cooperation (BMZ) and the EUTF. This project supports the Ministry of local Government (MoLG) of the State of Libya and selected municipalities. It aims to improve service delivery of basic services in municipalities and to strengthen the role of municipalities for enhancing local economic development for job creation and income generation. Therefore, it supports the elaboration and implementation of municipal development plans, enhances the role of Libyan municipal councils in service delivery and economic development by involving civil society and private sector actors. It aims to enhance the functioning of decentralized governance systems through capacity development of all relevant actors in the institutions at central, regional and local level and provides training to decision makers and administrators to better understand their roles and responsibilities and to manage additional or new functions, effectively.
For fostering economic development in the municipalities, the project will design and implement capacity development measures aiming at strengthening Micro, Small and Medium size Enterprises (MSMEs) and private sector actors on business planning, their production systems and management. Furthermore, the project will support initiatives for identifying local entrepreneurs, MSMEs and start-ups that could best contribute to the creation of jobs for the target population and that lead to the improvement of livelihoods in the selected municipalities that have been identified in the analysis for the LED strategies. In addition, the project will promote the transfer and adaptation of best practices and technologies for economic recovery and job creation.
